This “Additional Circular” is stapled to an “Addendum to Additional Circular, May, 1960” which moves from Mr. W. Harvey Moore, Q.C. (London): “That this Forty-ninth Conference of the International Law Association, without prejudice to other customary and conventional provisions of International Law, declares that the established laws of war, binding on all States, prohibit the use of missiles which are poisonous; which are exceptionally inhumane; or which, by their use or character, fail to discriminate between armed forces and civilian populations.” This Addendum to Additional Circular is stamped “20 June 1960, Prime Minister’s Office”. The second loose paper concerns a “Membership proposal Form” which has not been completed. The third document is a typed noted from the Assistant Secretary of the International Law Association providing details related to document dissemination for members.
